Abstract
The charge density of a plasma can be described by the coefficients of its Fourier decomposition. The time correlation of these is calculated in this paper for arbitrary wavelength. The form of the correlation, function then varies from that expected from wave motion at long wavelengths, to random perfect gag motion at short wavelengths, and bridges the gap between random short range motion and ordered long range effect.Keywords
